What Role Does Sleep Play in Pain Management?

What Role Does Sleep Play in Pain Management?

There is a direct link between quality of sleep and chronic pain. It can be very difficult for those dealing with chronic pain to fall asleep or, if they do, stay asleep. The pain they are feeling can have a massive impact on their quality and quantity of sleep. Then again, those who don’t manage to sleep very well might become more sensitive to their pain because they are tired. So, it makes sense that improved sleep could then play a role in managing chronic pain. 

Why Sleep is Important for Pain Management

Getting enough sleep is vital for everyone, but even more so for those with chronic pain. The reality is that if you don’t sleep well the night before, you are going to be in worse pain the next day. The better your sleep, the less pain you will feel and the less medication you are likely to … Read the rest

Guns and Marijuana: When Ideologies Clash on the Political Stage

Guns and Marijuana: When Ideologies Clash on the Political Stage

It has been said on more than one occasion that ‘politics makes strange bedfellows’. Nowhere in modern politics is the idea more evident than in the push to secure gun rights for cannabis users. Ideologies normally clash between gun rights supporters and their marijuana rights counterparts. But both are strangely willing to set ideologies aside in the pursuit of common goals.

It is a lot like the idea of the enemy of your enemy being your friend. People who would not normally get along find a way to unite in the fight against a common enemy. Yet in this particular case, it’s not clear who the common enemy is. Perhaps there is no common enemy. Maybe it’s about each group using the other’s ideology to pursue their own agendas.

Guns, Marijuana, and Federal Law

Marijuana remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law. Thanks to the Gun Control Act … Read the rest

Cannabis Pain Relief: How Important Is Anecdotal Data?

Cannabis Pain Relief: How Important Is Anecdotal Data?

Millions of people throughout the U.S. use cannabis. Some use it recreationally; others use it medicinally. Among medical users, Utahmarijuana.org says that the most commonly cited medical condition is chronic pain. But does cannabis really offer pain relief? Furthermore, how important is anecdotal data in determining how well cannabis relieves pain?

A recently released study suggests that cannabis works no better than placebo at relieving pain. On the other hand, another recently released study shows that roughly a third of all chronic pain patients treat their pain with cannabis. A fair number of them report using fewer prescription cannabinoids as a result.

The two studies offer somewhat contradictory data. So at what point do we consider the anecdotal data? If people report feeling better after using cannabis, doesn’t that count for something? It does. But feeling better doesn’t necessarily equate to a measurable biological response.

Hospice Care: Signs Your Loved One May Need More Care

Hospice Care: Signs Your Loved One May Need More Care

Planning for palliative care or end-of-life care at home isn’t something many people think about, but it might help you alleviate any unpleasant surprises in the future. It’s important to stay aware of the symptoms and signs of aging or any diseases that your loved one might have. Everyday activities can become too difficult for these individuals, and they might need a home and hospice care if they’re showing these signs:

Forgetfulness

A missed appointment at the doctor’s clinic can seem innocuous—everyone slips up every now and then. However, if the forgetful turns into confusion about whether someone took their medication or which medicine they should take, it might lead to serious consequences.

Chronic forgetfulness can range from forgetting to pay the bills to get lost without being able to get home. Forgetfulness is often a major symptom of Alzheimer’s or dementia.

Poor hygiene

If your loved one is usually … Read the rest
